tilers

headbang :red card

so much for getting all the 2nd fixing done today... back tomorrow since tiler had to remove & re-do this.

apparantly, this was my fault for not putting the sockets on the wall for him to tile upto.....

oh, and they are brushed chrome flatplate.

he also tiled into another box and had to cut 5mm from the bottom

and on another, there was a 5mm gap between socket and tile, now filled with grout

and the hole for the fan is nowhere near round....

FFS he hasn't even polished them offX(

You have either got a very bad camera with a very distorted lens or this is the worst tiling job I have seen in a F long time, and believe me I have seen some sh1t tiling jobs........... :coat

This could be a job i did last year, exactly the same thing huge gaps around the sockets, tiler rufused to come back so the client filled the gaps with grout. looks awful.

I really cannot understand how they can't get it right all they have to do is line tile up with edge of box what could be more simpler. Perhaps they should stick to singing.

I hope the customer refused to pay if the tiler didn't come back.

But this highlights the age old problem of how to get it "just right"

When I built my own house, I only temorarily surface mounted the sockets to start with.

Then when I tiled the kitchen, I sunk the boxes so that they lined up with the tiles to make it look neat. Something you can't do when doing a job for the customer and you don't even know what size tiles they are using.

The perverse thing is that he had to cut the tiles to get it wrong. He could have got it correct without cutting (or so it looks). So it would have been easier to get it right!!

And don't get me started on tilers tiling in sockets and switches instead of lifting them off and tiling under!!! Plain lazy and stoopid!!

exactly. he had to remove the cut tiles and fit new, uncut tiles.
